Bread brought the working-class Catholic Boswell family of Liverpool to hilarious life for 59 episodes between 1986 and 1991. Centered around matriarch Nellie Boswell, played to perfection by Jean Boht, the show depicted the antics of her troublemaking husband Freddie, ever-scheming adult sons Joey, Jack, and Adrian, fashion model daughter Aveline, and their larger-than-life extended family.
We lost the amazing Jean Boht herself this September 2022 at age 91. Boht's iconic character anchored the show with her stern mothering, sharp wit, and concealed golden heart. Her strained relationship with philandering husband Freddie, played by Ronald Forfar, provided endless comedy fodder. Forfar, who passed away in 2020, endowed Freddie with eternal charm and boyish defiance of his wife's wrath. Yet underneath the dysfunction lay a bedrock of love.
The video shares behind-the-scenes tidbits and updates on where key cast members are now - or remembering those like Gilly Coman and Eileen Pollock who have since passed. We revisit memorable moments from talents like Victor McGuire, Peter Howitt, Melanie Hill, and more. Join us on this nostalgic tribute to a show that left an indelible mark on British pop culture and still delights audiences today through endless syndicated reruns.
How Each Bread Cast Member Died

No mention of Billy, Shifty or granddad. Granddad was comedy gold when he was demanding food from next door. Also there's Julie Billy's girlfriend then wife and not forgetting Martina the lady in the DSS office

[@shenysys]

Joey would often try to use his charms on Martina.

[@breigesheppard8339]

Great brilliant show don’t make them like this anymore sad 😢⭐️⭐️👍💚🍀🙏🏻

[@kithale316]

Lilo pronounced Lylo after an inflated mattress often used at the seaside.

[@user-xh3lz9xt4l]

The street was used again in 51st State

[@claremoat1057]

You say Jonathon Morris played Adrian Boswell, the youngest Boswell Son. This is totally incorrect, the youngest Boswell Son was actually Billy Boswell which was played by Nick Conway.

[@natvan29]

Yeah he was the third child it went Joey Jack James aka Jimmy aka Adrian Avline last Billy

[@claremoat1057]

Also you're pronouncing Lilo Lil and Aveline incorrectly. It's Lilo as in an inflatable Lilo you use in a pool; and Av-e-line!!!!!

[@megansavage7152]

Why are you including actors who aren't dead

[@robsimpson5066]

Not sure I’ll be coming back to a channel mostly about death.

[@kazshaw3945]

It's pronounced Lie low lil !A lilo is an inflatable mattress !🤦

[@natvan29]

He also pronounced Avline name wrong

[@natvan29]

There was never an episode where they tricked Freddie about winning the lottery where did you get that from

[@natvan29]

You are saying Avline name wrong

[@roseann5126]

I dont think whoever as done this havent got a clue Billy was the youngest son an they dont even pronounce the names properly

[@audreyharalambos2592]

The narrator is American so there’s your answer lol what do Americans know about our soaps ?.. I loved bread the writing was brilliant and it is one of the best soaps, I can’t listen to all of it as the “ voice is doing my head in “ xxx

[@lillymay3632]

Her name was pronounced as " lie low" lil. A lilo being an inflatable mattress.

[@ailse491]

Her name is pronounced lye-lo that’s how we brits pronounce it thx

[@steely666]

6 series not seasons. Lielow Lil. The American narrative is crap.

[@natvan29]

It was seven not six but your right this guy was terrible he pronounced names wrong got people mixed up and said something about an EP where the boys tricked Freddy about the lottery there was never an episode like that and I should know I have all 74 episodes

[@andrewgaskell1487]

@@natvan29 I have all 74 episodes of Bread. Bread was one of the best BBC sitcoms. Wasn't the same when they brought in a new Joey and Aveline Boswell.
